Story: Brenn
Chapter 10
Home at Last
Brenn woke up and found Pryce sprawled out on the bed beside her. She looked around and saw the familiar outlines of her room at Buffy's.
She smiled to herself. She guessed that Pryce was dreaming or something that would explain the amount of twitching he was doing.
"Pryce," she whispered in his ear. "Pryce!"
"What?! What? Is it midnight already," the confused man babbled. Brenn giggled.
"Pryce, it's light out," she said between burst of laughter.
"Oh, Brenn, you're awake," Pryce was grinning. "Willow said she wasn't sure when you would wake up because all of your energy was gone, and she said also that you had been taping into your life force for the power."
"Oh, that's lovely. I didn't even notice in the saving you and all. By the way, when did you wake up?"
"I'm assuming you mean after we got back. Well, Dawn tells me you had just fainted when I woke up, so about a week."
"A week! I've been out a week!" Brenn jumped out of the bed. "What have I missed?"
"Not much. Buffy told the school you were leaving and picked up your stuff, I rented a car for us to drive back to Seattle, and Xander was almost killed by a demon he went out on a date with."
"Xander almost getting killed by a demon isn't much?"
"Apparently so. Buffy informed me that he is, to quote, a demon magnet."
"Ah."
Brenn stripped of her night-gown right in front of Pryce. Pryce turned red and looked away.
"Pryce, you don't have to be embarrassed. We're almost married."
"Yes well, I think some things should wait until it is legal. And speaking of legal, happy birthday miss number eighteen."
"It's my birthday?"
"And you remembered and I didn't?"
"You have been out a week."
"And you remembered?"
"I would never forget," Pryce said with a smile. He turned around when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Brenn smiled back and kissed him roughly. Then she pulled away and locked the door.
"Brenn, wha-"
She shut him up with another kiss.
"Brenn, I told you," Pryce said, pulling away.
"I'm a legal adult now. I can make my own choices. And this is my choice."
"Brenn."
"Pryce, just shut-up and give me a birthday present."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Your eighteen?" Buffy couldn't believe it. "Why did you lie?"
"I needed to be close to Dawn's age. And I just turned eighteen today."
"It's your birthday?" Willow said in surprise. "Then let's have a party!" She snapped her fingers and the room was filled with decorations. Another wave and a huge cake appeared on the counter.
"No, we have to go. But we will take some of that delicious looking cake."
"Okay," Willow agreed with a smile. She waved her hand and half of the cake disappeared and reappeared in a plastic container beside the cake.
"Thanks Will," Brenn said thankfully.
"Brenn! The car's all packed. Let's go!" Pryce called from outside.
Brenn went outside and found Pryce and Xander shaking hands. She felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around and saw Dawn standing behind her with tears in her eyes.
"Bye," she said, forcing a smile.
Brenn gave her a hug.
"Bye. E-mail me. The address is slayagirl@ hotmail.com."
"Kay."
Brenn moved on to Buffy.
"See-ya slaya," she said, giving Buffy a smile."
"Bye Brenn. Good-luck with the baddies in Seattle."
Brenn moved on.
"Bye Willow. Bye Tara. Thanks for everything."
"B-bye," Tara waved.
"Bye. If you need me, call this number," Willow said, and handed Brenn a slip of paper.
Brenn was about to get in the car when she realised she had forgotten something.
"Bye Xander. Try not to get yourself killed, and watch who you date, okay?"
"Okay."
Brenn hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She got in the car and put on her seatbelt. Pryce started it up and started to drive. She leaned out the window and waved to everyone as they drove away.
"Are you going to miss them?" Pryce asked with a raised eyebrow.
"A little."
